No Idea

One of the most prolific and fiercely DIY labels on the planet is No Idea records from Florida. They have unleashed some bands who have gone on to bigger and better (well not better) things like Hot Water Music and Against Me!, but they also do records by Holy Mountain and the Marked Men! Not only are they a successful label but tey also run the best and by far cheapest distro in the USA.... nice work guys.

Verbal Assault

I know it's all getting a bit hardcore heavy...but I picked up a cheap Verbal Assault LP ...so was diggiong out their shit. Were they a Straight Edge band??? can't remember, but they had a good take on melodic hardcore....

Destino Final

When we played Texas, one of my favorite bands was Destino Final from Barcalona in Spain. They used to be called Invasion. This is the best I could do... track 'em down on myspace.

SOTD

I’ve lived here for almost 5 years now but every year I seem to forget that June is always a bit cold and gloomy. Not what you expect from June, especially coming from Chicago. This song is the perfect counter balance for the weather. It’s super cheery and crazy, like summer is supposed to be.

This band is a Canadian “Super Group” with members from lots of other great bands, Broken Social Scene etc. I hear they have another record coming out soon.
Check it!
